Former Abercrombie & Fitch worker is suing the brand for $35 million because of the dress code

The New York Post reports that Maha Shalaby,
a transgender former employee who worked at the New York City
flagship store, is suing the brand for $35 million, claiming that
the company forced him to wear women's apparel and fired him in
2012 when he refused to do so.

The Post notes that the lawsuit claims that he could "only wear a
girls' uniform because that's what customers want to see."

This isn't the first time the company's so-called look policy, a
strict dress code that prohibited tattoos and facial hair, has
landed it in hot water.
